Changing my motherboard

As the title says I'm changing my motherboard. Thanks to RPS' excellent Hard Choices series I have already purchased my new CPU, cooler, board and ram, and am just waiting for my system backup to complete before I get started. I have built a few PCs from scratch so I know what bits go where, but this is my first upgrade. I have a retail version of Win7 so I shouldn't need a new license, but should I dig out the installation disc just in case? I also seem to remember reading somewhere on the internet that I should install the new motherboards drivers beforehand, but I can't find that advice now and don't want it to have to fix it if it buggers everything up, so any advice on that front would be appreciated.

Past experience has thought me that new motherboards and existing installations of Windows don't play nicely with each other. You're right in thinking you won't need a new license, you can use the existing one and if it gives you any trouble there's a way you can contact MS about getting a new one.

As annoying as it sounds,
-Backup your data
-Wipe the drive
-Install windows again

Someone else might have new/better information, but that's what I've had to do the last few builds.

Windows repair, unfortunately, didn't help, but I have got everything backed up (hopefully) so I am re-installing currently.
So far the hardest part of this upgrade was finding my install disc, with luck it will stay that way.
